Lessons In Reporting.

SOME HINTS FOR BEGINNERS ON
THE DAILY PREss-vALUABLE
SUGGESTIONS.
The boy who would be a su cess
full journalist must enter the pro-
fessiOn with no vain ambition to
hurry up and get his name in print,
or to be called an "editOr.o He
must make up his mind to work
hard and consclentIOusly, and af-
ter q number Of years take the po-
sitiOn in the profession to which
he seems to be adapted, resting
content Herewith. If he comes to
his work with a collegiate educa-
ton, it will be we'll f; but it is by no
means necessary.
journalism, it must be borne in
mind, is distinct from authorship,
pure and simple. The journalist
deals with the questions of the day !;
his knowledge must be on the tip
of his tongue, or rather, at the
point of his pen-ready for use at
any moment. The author, on the
other hand, can sit at home, write
leisurely, revise frequently, and
consult books of reference to verify
his statements.
Some college-bred reporters are
occasionally both panied and sur
| prised at their first newspaper ex-
/ periences. Such young man may
look in the morning paper for his
first report, on which, you may be
sure, he has taken the greatest
possible pains. He has given an
elaborate description If the hall
the appearance of the audience,
and of the lecturer he has been sent
to report.
Yet he cannot find his account,
although he is sure he wrote COL
umn.
"May be It's crowded out" sug-
gested a brother reporter, and then
adds, "Why, no; here it 49, 1t is
cut down and they've put a new
head on It,"
Yes there 1t is, away down in
the corner of the third page, next
to the market reports
It makes a column all but nine
tenths
Our college-bred young friend
may he very angry at such shabby
treatment; but, if he is a sensible
fellow, he soon gets used to it.-N.

Confessed His Crime.

JOLIET, ILL, Sept. ~21.-One
dark night recently George Jacobs,
of Belyidere, rolled a large stone
on the track of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway near that
place. He then awaited the ap'
nroacb of the midnight express
train from Chicago, and just before
the train reached the curve where
he had placed the rock he lit a
newspaper aud waved the flame IN
the air. He stopped this train, but
not until the engine had showed
the stone some fifty feet along the
track. The passengers thought
nothing too good for the brave
Jacobs. He would accept no
money. but solicited job on the
road. The company had a shrewd
detective in its employ, who follow
ed the case up so hotly that he
made Jacobs confess that he put
the stone upon the track. The
Boone County Court at once had
him indicted and tried, and he has
inst arrived at Joliet prison, sen
fenced for three years for the crime
of maIir ,ious mischief.

The Latest Fashionable Gait for Young
Ladies Described.

"Hsve you observed the new gait

Fifth avenue mOdlste of reporter
of the Erening Sun rece Dtly.
Seeing a look of wllderment
on the reporters face, she contin-
ued: "You know that fashions
change in walking just as they do
in everything else. Even young
men change their manner of walk

fashion. A short time ago it was
the thing for fashionable young
man to poke along on tiptoe in a
sort of gingerly way. That was
when the dude was in his glory

"Ihe new walk is neither grace

WHO THE DOOMED MEN ARE.
SKETCHES OF THE SEVEN OMAR
TYRsr TO THE ANARCHISTIC
DOCTRINES.

SKETCHES OF THE SEVEN OMAR
TYRsr TO THE ANARCHISTIC
DOCTRINES.
August Spies came here from
Germany six years ago aud settled
in Chicago. In 1879 he became
managing editor of the Arbetter
Zeitung, and used it as vehicle
for his anarchlstic views. His
brother, William, having been
killed by policeman for resisting
arrest, he vowed vengeance, and
began to teach his disciples how to
manufacture dynamite. He is
gentlem anly in appearance, thirty
three years of age, of an exceed.
ingly nervous temperament, and
grows faint at the sight of blood.
Michael Schwab is by trade a
okbinder; was for some time as
sociate editor of the Arbeiter
Zeitung. lie is a follower Of Most,
and joined Spies in 1888. He is of
a teroclous appearance, and is not
cleanly in his habits. He has often
said that he would like to be
hanged for his devotion to anarchy.
He knows how to handle a musket
and build a barricade.
Samuel Fielden is American by
birth, and a mere tyro in the doc
trines of anarchy. Ais practice
has been to repeat in English what
Spies and Schwab have said in
German. He says he helped to
create several "groups" of English
anarchists. He is forty.six years
of age, and a carpenter by trade.
A. B. Parsons is native Of
Massachusetts, and about f0rty.fve
years of age. He edited the Alarm
two winters ago and taught in it
how to throw bombs and manufac-
ture dynamite. For some time he
was a scout in Texas, and was re-
puted to be dead shot. He has
seldom done hard work OF any
kind. His wife IS as staunch an
anarchist as he is.
Louis Lingg is twenty.three years
OF aye, exceptionally we'll educat-
ed, and one of the most trusted
agents of anarchists. He is in
tensely devoted to the cause, and
has frequently expressed his will
ingness to die for it.
NJ. Fischer is fairly we'll educat-
ed, and has been an anarchist for
many years. He is married and
has children, but is charged with
seldom having done anything to
provide for them. 1t was general
~ suspected he threw the bomb at
the Haymarket meeting.
VI. Engel IS a German and a
well.known anarchist. He has
never, however, attained as much
prominence as Spies and his other
colleagues.

SAD FATE OF TWO WOMEN WHO

SAD FATE OF TWO WOMEN WHO
MARRIED DRUNKARD S.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 21.--For.
ty years ago pretty, dashing katie
Reinhart was a mHch.cOurted belle
in Cleveland. She married a yOung
man named Algernon Smith, and
through her husbands speculatlons
they lost their home. His drunk
en- habits and neglect broke her
heart, and finally disease took hus-
band and children from her. Yes
terday a woman sixtv.fve years cid
was found dead in little sbanty al
No. 90 Birch street. The mlsera
BILE abode was cold, barren OF furn'
iture and destitute of every neces
sity of life. The body was ldcntl
fed as that OF Mrs. Kate smith,
She had starved to death.
Another sad case is that OF Mrs
Alexander Cover. She is a woman
twenty-four years of age, and, al
though only married three years
has been repeatedly deserted by
her husband. Unable to support
herself, and too proud to beg, she
was found yesterday in an untur
nished room of a tenement house
on Woodland avenue starving L
death, with her two emaclated "a
bles in her lap. Through lack o
nourlshment, the babies had vast

PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.
INTERESTING CONTEST THROUGH
OUT THE STATE-THE
OUTLOOK.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Septem-
Der 2l.-The Prohibition campaign,
which is now at its height, is arous-
ing the greatest interest through
out the state, and is producing
greater excitement than any cleo
tion since the war. The state will
vote on an amendment to the con-
stitution, prohibiting the sale and
manufacture of spirituous, malt or
vinous liquors. The election will
occur on the Doth instant. The
ProhibltIonists are making a vigo-
rous and aggressive campaign, and
have enlisted the aid and active
cooperation of the leading Prohi.
bitiOnigts in America. A perfect
organization is formed, and speech
es are delivered daily at nearly
every important town and city IN
the state. Preachers have taken
the stump, and temperance women
are speaking from hustings. The
Women's Christian Temperance
Union has actively Joined in the
canvass, and in every leading town
ladies and children wear PrOhibi-
tion badges and attend all meet
ings by thousands. The women in
large cities are making hocso':c-
house canvass, and dispatches TO
the Times indicate an intensity OF
feeling heretofore unparalleled
The ants are making stillhunt.
Few speeches are being delivered,
but hard personal work is
being done. Politicians are
nearly. equally divided on the
subject. Some of the leading
Democrats have just taken the
stump in opposition to the amend
ment of the daily press. Four oi
the leading newspapers in the
state are non.committal; two are
pronounced for the amendment,
and one is aggresslvely against 1t.
The majority of weekly papers op'
pose it. The colored people seem
to be concentrating in the oppo-
sition, but the Prohibitionists are
now claiming one-third of the
colOred vote. Opinions vary on
the result, but politicians predict
the defeat of the measure. In
some of the large cities, women
and children Will be at the polls.-
Large placards, pearing the words
"God Bless Our Homes," "Save
the Mothers, Wives and Children"
ETC., will be conspicu, ,'usly display
ed on election day at all leading
voting precincts in the 'tate.

they are getting are the worst sort

Several other custom work shoe
makers, in speaking of the subject,
said that in all these machine made
shoes the cheapest material was
used in mems, wOmen's and chill
dren's shoes; horsehide being split
and dressed up to represent calf,
and poorly tanned sheepSkins
being made up in imitation OF
pebble goat.
From the various manufactures
down east these shoddy goods are
shipped to wholesale hOuses,w whence
they find their way to retailers
about town, by whom they are sold
mostly to the poorer people, who
think they are getting bargains. 1t
is variously estimated that from
$4,000 to $4,000 a day would not
CO, er the quantity of this sort of
trash that is sold in this city alone,
and it is too bad that the loss
should fall upon those who can Ill
afford it. There are scores of shop
keepers who sell mems, women's
and boys boots and shoes from 81
down to IS cents less than half the
cost of the material of a good
article, let alone tie cost OF max
ing up. These goods are known to
the trade as "turn Shoes" from the
fact that the inside paper sole is
first secured to the upper and then
the shoe is turned inside out, when
the sole is secured by nails, paste
and perhaps stitch or two. The
soles of these cheap shoes the
storekeeper will swear are leather,
and so they really are, bat it is not
the dressed hide intact. They are
called "patent soliug," and are
composed of scraps ground up,
skivers and other waste materials
formed into a composition and roll
ed into various thicknesses by
powerful machinery. From each
strip, when it comes from the roll
ers and Is dried, two pairs of soles
can be cut, and the waste is used
for filing in. In dry weather such
soles will wear tOlerably well, but
in wet weather they soon melt
away. This patent soling is most
ly used by manufacturers In their
lowest priced goods, though many
cobblers about town use it in half
soling and heeling. There is a
grade of machine made shoe COM
posed Of good stock, but the great
bulk of this industry is shoddy.-

The Coolest Man In PIttshurg.

An impromptu lecture on the use
of firearms, illustrated by expert
ments, was delivered by Captain
James Bishop, of the Pennsylvania
Tube Works. yesterday in Bayleys
restaurant. Taking a loaded re-
volver, he explained how awkward
handling was productive of acci'
dent. "Some men hold it this
way,r said he, "and they are llaole
to lose their left thumbs" anu'
suiting the action of the word, the

Walking On Water.

Alphonse King, of France, took
q promenade upon the Schuy kill
river, just below Girand.avenue
bridge, Philadelphia, Tuesday af-
ternoon, standing upon shoes built
to represent big gold fishes. He
walked half way across the stream,
and was compelled to abandon the
boots because the t,aggage.smash-
ers who handled the IN on their way
to this city had made them leaky,
and they would have sunk if the
walker had not elm bed out of them
into boat. Mr.. King is a genius
who for some years has studied
the art of walking upon tho waJer.
He has patented a pair of boots
that seem to fulfill his requirements.
They are made oftln, 80 inches long,
eight deep and nine wide each.
The tin is fashioned ir ito the shape
OF a gold fish and pa ,nted to repre-.
sent that animal. AT the bottom
are a series OF little Stats like those
on Venetian bin Dis. When the
boots are propen ed forward they
offer no resistar ice to the water,
because they Gle ,se up, but on the
backward stro' ke they open and
give a Leverage power like that OF
oars. In this respect the King
system seems to be ahead of any
thing else. It enables q man to
stroll on the waters surface at the
rate Of abou t two miles an hour
